Augrented Insights Report for 247 Starr Street

247 Starr Street is a 4-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1933, currently owned by Todor Sfera. The property has experienced ongoing rodent control issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple rodent-related complaints and inspections showing consistent signs of rat activity.

The most recent investigation in July 2025 showed a "Passed" result, though previous compliance inspections in June 2025 and May 2025 noted "Rat Activity". There are several active violations related to the building's external low-pressure inspection filings from 2018 through 2023, suggesting potential maintenance oversight regarding safety systems. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water issues in late 2019, with multiple complaints about system failures affecting both individual apartments and the entire building during winter months.

Additional safety concerns were raised in 2019 regarding blocked fire escapes, with violations noting obstructions including flower pots and garbage cans that could impede emergency egress. While the building has not reported bedbug infestations since 2019, and inspections show some improvements in pest control, the persistent rodent activity remains a notable concern. The property has also had various maintenance issues over recent years, including water leaks and door problems, though many of these complaints from 2023-2024 were resolved without violations being issued.
